Population 5000. The county seat of DeSoto county, the heart of the orange and grape fruit section, is a thriving city located 200 miles southwest of Jacksonville, and 70 miles southeast of Tampa, on the eastern bank of Peace River. It is 61 feet above tide water, which is only 10 miles distant. It is the junction point of three railroads, viz., the Atlantic Coast Line, Char- lotte Harbor and Northern and East and West Coast Railroads, and hence it has adequate transportation facilities. The growth of the city is natural, due to the natural development of the re- gion, $300,000 will be expended in 1917 in public improvement. The city is justly proud of its school advantages, public sentiment calling for the best in educational matters. The principal re- ligious denominations have churches here, there being 8 organized white churches. The most important industry is the growing of citrus fruits and live stock. There are 2 banks, a daily and 3 weekly newspapers, an electric light and ice plant. Tel., W. U. and Postal. Telephone, Scott. Exp., Sou. Wm. M. Platt, postmaster.
